We understand that Miss Addie Gordon,
the talented President of the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association OF the l. l. &
O., and one of its students, will soon leave
as a Missionary to China. Miss Addie has
made many warm friends while in our city
by her winning manners and sweet DISPOSE
ton. Her religious ferYor and Christian
devotion has led this fair yosng girl, Just
budding into the full loveliness OF woman
hood, to give up relatives, society, friends
and all that make life dear to go to the far
on land, China. We sincerely hope that
such faith and unselffsh devotion will
meet rich mental aud spiritual reward,
and that no sorrow or disappointment will
touch so brave a heart, but that "Peace,
which passeth all understanding" will be
with her always in the Heather Land

appoint committee to urge before the
Fruit Growers at the Convention in Jack

las over other towns, for the establishment
u canning factory. The Meteor says:
ust think of it, here we are in what is
ermed the garden spot of the South buy
ng every box OF canned goods we use from
Instant markets. Thousands of dollars are
pent annually for canned vegetables aud
ruits, which could be put up here at
ess cost. We have the fruits and Yegeta
lies, would save freight, and could COM
,ete with old established manufactures.
Why could not factory here supply
AIMED goods to any part of the United
'tates as well as they can furnish US? No
ne has ever questioned the fact that a
aiming factory would pay; the lack OF
apital has been the trouble.
